I have been smoking for the better part of the last 20 years pretty much daily.
When I tried weed the first time close to 19 or 20 i didn't care too much for it. Then, I discovered that music + weed = WOW!! that is when I really started smoking on a more regular basis.. It gave dimension and depth to the music I was listening to which was otherwise "flat" without some herb in me.
It then became (for me) a way to get a better job. (how's that you say?) simple... I want a big bag of good weed.. well that cost money and if you want to have money you need a better job.. so it may sound weird to some but wanting a good steady bag meant I needed a good job too get such bag... that is in part why I got into information technology. I remember studying to pass IT certification exams with a bowl and a cup of coffee. Worked like a charm! I not only passed but I continued to get better and better jobs over time. All while smoking at my leisure.
Now I smoke less than I used to but still all day every day that I don't have to work. (weekends) but during the week I only smoke AFTER work. not in the AM .. Its good to observe 4:20 or in my case 4:45.. hehe.
Why I smoke today? ... I like the feeling of clarity and relaxation that I get from smoking. I also like how when I smoke I tend to be a lot more forgiving of the things around me. I empathize with other people much easier than when I am not under the care of the green Goddess. When I smoke, it is easier for me to visualize things that I believe make my life better as well as for those around me. I am also more likely to give someone a deserved compliment when I toked rather than when I am straight and have all my reservations. Weed brings people together, no doubt.
I am also an insomniac.. or at least used to be before Mary and I got together. So I also smoke to get a good night's sleep where I don't wake up 3 or 4 times during the night. When Mary puts me to sleep, I don't wake up until morning time. A good nights sleep is essential for me to perform well at work. So say what they will, Mary helps me to be better at work as far as I am concerned.
Finally, I smoke because I like it. A lot! and I strongly believe no one should ever need an excuse to enjoy a good nug.
